You ever think about how fucked up it is that the tarot deck you know the pictures from, even if you don't know tarot, THE deck everyone knows... is called the Rider-Waite Deck after the company that published it (Rider) and the "ideas guy" (Waite) who commissioned an artist to draw it
And not named for Pamela Colman Smith, who actually drew it
